Abstract: A method for operating a transmission device, which is transferable into different operating states through the actuation of shifting elements, is described. At least one of the shifting elements is designed as a positive-locking shifting element, which is supplied with operating pressure for presenting a defined operating state of the transmission device. Through a sensor device upstream of a valve device, which is connected to a transmission area essentially featuring ambient pressure, a value of a pressure signal corresponding to the operating pressure can be determined. Upon exceeding a threshold value of the pressure signal, currently in the area of the positive-locking shifting element, a change in operating state is determined, and, upon falling short of an additional threshold value of the pressure signal, the reaching of the requested operating state is established.

Abstract: A method for operating a transmission device (1), which is transferable into different operating states through the actuation of shifting elements (A to F), is described. At least one of the shifting elements (A, F) is designed as a positive-locking shifting element, which is supplied with operating pressure (p_sys) for presenting a defined operating state of the transmission device (1). Through a sensor device upstream of a valve device, which is connected to a transmission area essentially featuring ambient pressure, a value of a pressure signal corresponding to the operating pressure can be determined. Upon exceeding a threshold value of the pressure signal, currently in the area of the positive-locking shifting element (A, F), a change in operating state is determined, and, upon falling short of an additional threshold value of the pressure signal, the reaching of the requested operating state is established.
